Decent, if you like this sort of thing
I have played a lot of early access games, I don't mind seeing them in a rough state and there is a lot of joy in seeing a thing take shape and improve. Besides, when I was a kid they were all rough even when they were done. That was just tech limitation This though? Its not for me. I can recognize the effort and appreciate it. There is a better than even chance that if this makes it through development and becomes a finished product is it will be a competent game. . .But I am not sure its one I would want to play. Not because it's Eurojank, but just because it seems thin on those qualities which matter most to me. . .But because doing dark things in a dark setting doesn't interest me The narrative borders on non existent. There is some environmental storytelling but most of the set pieces are detailed but interchangeable and nondescript I am going to guess that this game is going to rely on cinematics to convey whatever story there is. At the moment those aren't present. There is enough that the game doesn't seem totally incoherent but not enough that you have a clear idea of who you are, what's going on, the stakes, or why the player should care. There is no emotional or intellectual anchor for the player What you do get right off the bat is that your character is some sort of knight, possibly a crusader type, which has become possessed either allegorically or literally. As you fight through the dark, debris strewn environments your insanity meter will rise and when you become overwhelmed by the death and destruction you inflict it can/will overwhelm you and turn you into a horned berserker. We have seen this before in other games like The Suffering and Baldur's Gate 2. In both of those games the mechanic was about power and its price. You could draw upon those abilities whenever in suited you but at the cost of your humanity -and your ending. Here, however, It doesn't feel as though any such struggle exists and it isn't as interesting Review limit reached
